has anyone seen this error when trying to import a pulumi stack?
```error: could not deserialize deployment: decrypting secret value: [400] Message authentication failed```

the stack json file that i'm trying to import was created via pulumi

Is this exporting a stack from one backend and importing into another?  The error message there isn't great - but this scenario isn't yet fully supported due to <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3683>.  Does that issue describe what you are trying to do?

sounds similar. we're doing `pulumi export` to back up state and i'm trying to recover and old state with a `pulumi import`
